As Sahab, Al Qaeda’s media outlet, has released eulogies for two recently killed commanders, but Abu Yazid was not among them and he signed the message. This confirms that the August 12th reports of his demise from unamed Pakistani officials were false reports and leaves Saeed Al Masri on the high value target list.
My previous reports on him here. More at Jawa, and at CT Blog.
In other news another missile strike in Bajaur has taken out at least 8 Al Qaeda or Taliban militants.
